Got to run to work, don't have the time for proper quoting, apologies... Very quickly commenting on some posts, not disregarding any other replies:

@JJG:

I was ready to reply "see what I mean?" until I checked the price and saw it was still above $40k. That's good. It sure is temporary though, as we will exceed it soon. proudhon's "right" predictions are temporary too, more often than not.

@Dabs:

I side with Jay on the afterlife part. I would even say that the odds of it existing are far fewer than 1%. Perhaps 0+% (the + is for being scientific). As for your bet on it existing or not and where it will land you after you die, it's an interesting argument that many people use (i.e., winning this life vs. an eternal afterlife), but, according almost all religious texts, this mindset will not land you in a nice place after you die, so you'd better pray there's no afterlife...

@Richy_T:

cAPSLOCK gave his reply to your bank comments, I agree with him. I'm not saying I like banks, but I see them as necessary for the majority of people. I think El Salvador will be a good test case for this.
